International Journal of Surgery, 2007 Depending on their pharmacology and the ways they are used, illicit drugs can lead to a wide range of medical and surgical problems. The drug-using patient requiring surgery or pain relief needs special attention in order to avoid interactions and complications, especially as most of these patients will be using more than one drug.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We evaluated the role of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), prednisone, and other risk factors for bone mineral density (BMD) loss and osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We calculated the association between 25(OH)D levels and other potential risk factors and BMD measures (spine T scores) and osteoporosis (defined as a T ...

Molecular Cages as Probes in Indicator Displacement Assays: The Case of Scopolamine Detection
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.In this research, we show the concept of molecular cages as probes in indicator displacement assays, focusing on scopolamine detection, a drug often used in drug‐facilitated sexual assaults. Drug sensing occurs via the drug‐induced transformation of non‐emissive [Fluorescein2⊂Cage] complex into [Scopolamine⊂Catenane] and highly emissive free ...

Patterns and transitions in substance use among young Swiss men: a latent transition analysis approach [PDF]
, 2014 This study investigates the potential stages of drug use. Data from the longitudinal Cohort Study on Substance Use Risk Factors were used (N = 5,116). Drug use (alcohol, tobacco, and 16 illicit drugs) over the previous 12 months was assessed at two time ...

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

Assessment of rates of recanting and hair testing as a biological measure of drug use in a general population sample of young people [PDF]
, 2016 AIMS: We investigate the extent of and factors associated with denial of previously reported cannabis and other illicit drug use, and assess the potential of hair testing for measuring substance use in general population samples.

Diabetes mellitus and illicit drugs [PDF]
Vnitřní lékařství, 2020 Lifetime prevalence of illicit drug use is high in the Czech Republic (CR) - it reached 31.2 % of the population in the age group 15-64 years in 2017. Diabetes mellitus (DM) applies to 8.8 % of the Czech population. Risks of illicit drug use in diabetic patients are related both to their effect on glucose metabolism and to the lifestyle associated with

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights how machine learning (ML) algorithms are employed to enhance sensor performance, focusing on gas and physical sensors such as haptic and strain devices. By addressing current bottlenecks and enabling simultaneous improvement of multiple metrics, these approaches pave the way toward next‐generation, real‐world sensor applications.

Correlation between blood and oral fluid psychoactive drug concentrations and cognitive impairment in driving under the influence of drugs [PDF]
, 2017 The effects of drugs on driving performance should be checked with drug concentration in the brain and at the same time with the evaluation of both the behavioural and neurophysiological effects. The best accessible indicator of this information is the
